Toxic Torts

The Firm regularly defends clients in lawsuits alleging personal injuries from exposure to toxic substances, including lead paint, mold, asbestos, chemical substances, pesticide, diesel exhaust, and PCBs. Many of these claims are by employees of our clients or occupants of public housing, and call for our attorneys to have thorough knowledge of industrial hygiene and the unique causation issues raised by these claims. We diligently keep up-to-date on the evolving state of the art of the scientific data on these types of claims.

Success in toxic tort cases often turns on a successful challenge to the admissibility of plaintiff's "scientific" evidence or a well-prepared and effective cross-examination of plaintiff's causation "experts." As a result of our Firm's success on both of these fronts in the battle against toxic tort claims, we are handling these claims across the country on behalf of our clients.
